WELLS FARGO JAPANESE GARDEN
Intensive Roof Project

This garden was a historically significant garden, which was originally designed by a Japanese master gardener to promote peace and tranquility. It is located at the top floor of the Wells Fargo World Headquarters in San Francisco and is surrounded by the corporate headquarters and boardrooms. It is visible to all during board meetings. The idea of the garden is to provide a soothing atmosphere for all who view it.

This project entailed the replacement of the existing roof membrane, which was located under a historic Japanese Garden. We were required to remove and preserve all of the landscaping materials, including landscape products, and to restore them to their original location and condition upon completion of the work.



During the course of construction, the irrigation system was upgraded to include a more efficient and environmentally sound drip irrigation system with integral timing devices to insure better water conservation.


Western Roofing Service was recognized for a difficult project that included removing a Japanese roof garden, cedar deck, the underlying concrete topping slab, and roof membrane, and installating the new membrane and reinstallating the garden. The work, completed in off hours, was scheduled so as to not disrupt the business activities of the Wells Fargo Bank world headquarters.
